progress is made
Mar. 27th, 2007 10:24 amso. i'm all set up to have electric, gas, and cable hooked up at my apartment on monday. i'm absolutely appalled by how much cable + internet is costing me, but it's still less than cable + DSL would've cost, plus i get a DVR in the deal. (i could've gone with standard cable and skipped the DVR, but that would've saved me only $11/month, which seemed kind of silly considering just how damn useful a DVR really is for someone who likes to watch obscure BBC mystery series that they run at 4 a.m. for random 3-week periods without advertising it anywhere.)
now i just have to hope the apartment is actually ready sunday as promised; there's a very small chance it won't be, but that's a very small chance, so i'm working on the assumption that it will be.
i'm not sure how i'm going to accomplish anything for the next week, because the only thing i can think about is having my own space again, having my own kitchen again, being able to eat what i want when i want to again. i am obsessed. it shouldn't take more than four hours or so to get myself completely repacked and ready to go, and i plan to have everything but the essentials in boxes by the weekend. people are trying to secure me the use of a pickup on Sunday, and if i don't borrow the futon as i'd planned, i should be able to do the entire move in no more than two trips. (at this point, i'm planning to borrow an air bed instead and find myself a cheap/free mattress on Craigslist once i'm moved in. ease of moving is my #1 priority at this point.)
i' m so fucking excited i can't stand it. a great big kitchen all for myself! with a gas stove and windows! it's like a dream come true! i've been in the manager's apartment -- which is identical except for carpet color -- three times now, and all three times i've forgotten to check and see if there's a dishwasher, because i'm so dazzled by those windows. a kitchen! with windows! yes, i know i'm repeating myself, but you know how i get.
anyway. yeah. Sunday. Sunday, it will be mine. and because i decree it to be so, the sun will shine and the birds will sing and there will be a truck and many helping hands and pizza and beer and much rejoicing.
(on the downside, i won't be getting paid till Friday, and i just put my last $2.50 in my gas tank, and it won't be enough to get me to and from work for the rest of the week, and today is my last ramen bowl for lunch at work, and yesterday i ate the last of my fresh veggies, so i'm going to have to borrow a few bucks to get me to payday. i was hoping i'd seen the last of borrowing for a while, but i guess another $20 won't kill me. *sigh*)
